Chapter 282 The Free Bodyguard Betrayed

Edward naturally knew that Rosberg was from the Duke of Hamilton's side, and if he was allowed to succeed him as supervisor, Vatel's plan would fail again. 【】As the loyal lackey of the Minister of War, this result made Edward heartbroken.He never believed that Master Vettel would be so confused and let people from the Hamilton faction get involved in this matter so easily.In this case, not only would Farrell die in vain, but even the cooperation with the Senate would be affected.

Seeing Edward's astonished expression, Roger knew that this guy couldn't believe the news was true, so he smiled unhurriedly and said, "Rosberg came to Kent Town as a deputy supervisor, just to assist Farrell. That's all. But... the news of Farrell's death hasn't reached the capital yet, so I really want to see for myself what kind of expression Vettel will have when he hears the news!"

After listening to Roger's words, Edward finally understood why Lord Vettel made such a mistake. It was all because he did not pass the news of Farrell's death in time.This made Edward a little bit more vigilant while blaming himself. Roger actually said his "conspiracy" in front of his face, which is definitely not a good thing.

"Why did you tell me this?" Edward forced himself to calm down and asked, "Also, since you already know that Rosberg will succeed you as supervisor, why did you take the risk to wipe out the orcs, and you agreed that I would bring people to act with you? "

"Didn't I tell you that I'm a nobleman with noble morals, and I'm dedicated to serving the kingdom!" Roger replied with a face of justice: "Even if the supervisor is my old acquaintance, I wouldn't ravage the orcs. Just sit idly by!"

Speaking of this, Roger paused for a while, and then smiled at Edward: As for why you agreed to bring people to follow... because I don't feel relieved to let so many of you stay in Kent Town, it's better to just let you follow Free bodyguards.With your protection, the journey will be much more peaceful! "

"You...you, hum!" Although Edward was considered a relatively calm person, he was still furious after hearing Roger's words.However, Edward did not completely lose his mind. He still remembered Roger's amazing sword. Knowing that he was not his opponent, he just snorted coldly and strode towards his subordinates.

"Oh, it's really tolerable." Looking at the back of Edward leaving, Roger couldn't help but muttered to himself: "Why don't you do it, if you do it first, my buddy can justifiably chop you into pieces More than a dozen paragraphs..."

"We have to do it!" Edward called all the squad leaders together, and said to his confidant with a stern look: "The capital has sent a new supervisor, if we don't do it now, Lord Vater's plan will definitely will fail!"

"But... that Roger is a nobleman!" A team leader said in embarrassment: "Killing a nobleman of the kingdom is a felony!"

"Who said we killed Baron Roger?" Edward stared fiercely at the others and said, "The Baron died heroically while exterminating the orcs. The orcs killed him!"

Another team leader nodded heavily: "Yes, that's it! This matter has nothing to do with us!"

"Afterwards, kill all the unreliable soldiers, and say that they died in the battle to protect Roger." Edward said viciously: "It's all right to do it tonight?"

"My lord, what about that female knight?" A small captain said with a lewd smile: "This chick is really beautiful, hehe..."

Edward knew that to let his subordinates take such a big risk, he had to give them some benefits, so he waved his hand without hesitation: "After you kill Roger, you can do whatever you want with that woman, as long as you don't leave her alive afterward!"

"Okay, then we will wait for your order!" The squad leader winked at the others triumphantly, expecting the battle to come soon.

"Your Edward, you must have gathered a few officers together after being stimulated by me. It must not be a good thing." Roger, who was not far away, said to Bonnie at this scene: "It must be discussed to kill us at night. Woolen cloth!"

Bonnie glanced at those people from a distance, and said in disbelief, "No way, attacking the nobles of the kingdom is a felony, and these people are all officers of the kingdom..."

"Hey, you still believe in justice and humanity too much, thinking that everyone else will abide by the knight's rules just like you." Roger smiled at the female knight: "No matter how many crimes you have committed, as long as you don't get caught, then You are guilty!"

Although admitting that Roger had some truths, Bonnie still didn't believe that Edward really dared to lead his men to attack the nobles.But that night, it turned out that the Cavaliers still overestimated the good side of human nature.

Since leaving Kent Town, every night when camping, Roger and Bonnie always set up a tent at a distance from Edward and the others for the night.Originally, the two sides were on guard against each other, so Edward didn't agree with Roger's arrangement.Tonight was the same as the previous few days. Roger and Bonnie set up a tent dozens of steps away from the brigade. Edward and his men would not come over to disturb them. The two sides deliberately kept a safe distance.

The situation was no different from the previous nights, but things began to change in the middle of the night.In the silent wilderness, Roger heard the slight sound of weapons and armor colliding, and the voice of someone giving orders in a low voice. He couldn't help but sneered: "Is it finally unbearable to do it?"

"Attack, kill that baron!" Edward gave the final order to his opponent here, and ran to Roger's camp in the first place.

Although Edward was afraid of Roger's strength, he was not so afraid when he thought that there were more than 100 people on his side.A person's ability is always limited. After all, Roger is not a legendary powerhouse. Edward believes that more than 100 people under him are enough to kill him.

The soldiers rushed towards Roger's tent silently, the sound of footsteps could be heard far away in the silent night, but no one cared so much at this moment.These soldiers were all carefully selected by Edward. Not only were they not weak in personal strength, but they were all loyal to him.As long as Edward gave an order, let alone kill a nobleman, they would carry out orders such as storming the palace without hesitation.

Several officers holding crossbow bolts followed Edward closely and fired at the same time after approaching Roger's tent.After a sound of bowstrings, Roger and Bonnie's horses hissed and fell to the ground. It was impossible for them to ride away from Edward's men.

"Kill!" Seeing that the target's retreat had been cut off, Edward was the first to roar, leading the soldiers towards the tent.Perhaps motivated by the murder of a nobleman, the soldiers frantically swung their weapons at the tents, hacking and stabbing them, and quickly tore both tents to shreds.

The lecherous little captain was also taken aback when he saw this situation. He was afraid that the soldiers would go crazy and kill the beautiful knight, so he quickly shouted: "Stop, stop!"

In fact, even Edward himself didn't expect the operation to be so smooth. It stands to reason that a strong man like Roger shouldn't be so vigilant. How could he be hacked to death by a group of soldiers in the tent without even being able to fight back?

After turning this thought in his mind, Edward also quickly ordered loudly: "Everyone stop, light a torch and inspect the battlefield!"

Edward's order was quickly carried out, and a squad leader held a torch and reported to him with embarrassment: "Sir, we didn't find the body!"

"There's no corpse?!" The startled Edward raised his voice involuntarily, "They've already run away!"

This word spread to everyone's ears, both officers and soldiers became very depressed, as if the end of the world was coming.It is one thing to muster up the courage to kill a nobleman in the wilderness, but it is another thing if such a conspiracy is exposed.It would be bad luck for everyone, including Edward, if Roger was allowed to escape back and expose the matter.Not only that, even their family members will be implicated, and they will all be treated as slaves and never stand up again.

Many soldiers looked at Edward with a bit of resentment, obviously thinking that it was all his fault that brought everyone to the current desperate situation.

At this time, a torch was suddenly lit on the mound not far away, which shocked everyone who was at a loss.Edward instinctively went to the torch, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the man holding the torch was Roger he wanted to kill.Bonnie stood beside Roger with a pretty face, silently watching everyone without saying a word.

"You people, why did you break into my camp in the middle of the night?" Roger seemed completely unaware of his current situation, and still put on an aristocratic airs and said loudly: "Are you trying to harm the Baron? I don't know if this is a felony ?!"

"Kill him, and all problems will be solved!" At this time, Edward no longer cared about the disguise, and rushed to the mound first after roaring.

Under Edward's reminder, other soldiers also reacted, shouting and rushing towards Roger.At this moment, Roger seemed to have just suddenly realized that these guys really wanted to kill him.He panicked and pulled Bonnie back, all the while yelling in terror.

Roger's performance made Edward and his soldiers full of confidence, thinking that they would be able to kill this timid nobleman.It's just that the sky was too dark at this time, and no one noticed Roger's playful eyes and the faint smile on Bonnie's pretty face.

"Kill the men, and keep the women first!" The lecherous squad leader rushed in front of everyone, yelling excitedly.The situation just now made him worry that the crazy soldiers would kill Bonnie without hesitation, so he reminded others so loudly.

The team leader was the first to rush up the mound, and just when he thought his long-cherished wish was about to be fulfilled, the situation in front of him disappeared in an instant, and his whole body suddenly became icy cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
